Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 563 - 315 Civilization Accumulation [Second Update]

Seeing Zhao Qingfeng take out that thick stone slab, Lu Wan couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what's wrong with you? What do you want to do?"

Shu Rongrong also said, "Brother Zhao, if you're going to use some inconceivable methods, it's still best to think it over again. Most of the laws here are of the Divine Tao, and after all, you aren't a Divine Tao Cultivator. To control these techniques…"

In the end, it fell short.

At the other end of Divine Capital, Wang Qi's eyes lit up. The Immortal Dao Burning Book List indeed was related to the Divine Tao. It looked like the Holy Infant Sect had intentionally kept it from falling into the hands of the Modern Immortal Path.

Just this piece of Immortal Dao Burning Book List alone was probably worth the price of admission!

Meanwhile, Zhao Qingfeng laughed heartily, "Divine Tao Cultivator? Who says I'm not a Divine Tao Cultivator?"

One could see the pseudo-god, Round Demon, emitting a regal, dark purple radiance that enveloped the entire Immortal Dao Burning Book List.

Wang Qi's eyes widened, "This is…"

Inside the Immortal Dao Burning Book List, there were traces similar to a soul spirit field. This was a precursor to the birth of an artifact spirit!

Theoretically, if an item contained spiritual power that was strong enough, it could give rise to spirit wisdom. Normally, immortal artifacts are subject to various restrictions, pre-built "rules" to shape the soul and awaken the spirit wisdom, with powers altered for attack and defense rather than these purposes. However, the Immortal Dao Burning Book List was different; constructed by the Holy Infant Sect for the purpose of storing information, studying methods to counter the Immortal Dao. Therefore, it's highly likely to possess an artifact spirit that has awakened spirit wisdom.

"No, this soul field is extremely inactive, it seems like…"

Zhen Chan sighed, "There once was an artifact spirit. But in the battle that shattered the Immortal Dao Burning Book List, the artifact spirit was affected and has 'fallen' in battle. This is its 'remains,' and it seems possible to form the next generation of the artifact spirit."

Wang Qi suddenly laughed, "It's not a matter of possibility, but a necessity!"

Wang Qi secretly manipulated the spell power of the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell, leaving a mark within the Immortal Dao Burning Book List. With the soul field exhibiting such low activity and practically no computational action, the Heart Demon Curse didn't even have the potential to further develop.

However, once he mastered the Anti-Heart Demon Spell in the future, he could remove this influence and then use the Life Flame to directly awaken the spirit of this item, rumored to be a Demi Immortal Artifact, into being.

Zhao Qingfeng, manipulating this Divine Tao Artifact with his newly obtained divine spirit, naturally did so for the correct reading. In an instant, countless pieces of information struck Wang Qi. Wang Qi covered his head, retreating two steps.

Chen Youjia supported Wang Qi, urgently asking, "What's...umm..."

The massive stream of information crushed the minds of both of them. In an instant, countless scenes, following the connection of the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell, flowed in reverse, directly plunging into Wang Qi's side.

The human mind is particularly sensitive, and this massive stream of information had exceeded the limit of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Even the illusion maintained by Jarvis was affected by this massive flow of information, starting to blur and become bizarre and distorted. Layer upon layer of scenery overlaid here, actually making it difficult to discern what exactly it was.

On the other side, Zhao Qingfeng wasn't having an easy time either. Being a Golden Core Cultivator, he was enduring a stream of information that had gone through two levels of buffering from Wang Qi and Jarvis. His brain felt as if forcefully crammed with a plethora of objects, nearly bursting, with a splitting headache. Nevertheless, he continued to laugh wildly, "Indeed! Indeed! The Immortal Dao Burning Book List requires Divine Tao Laws to be read, to truly be effective!"

The overwhelming flow of information momentarily caused Jarvis not to react, data overflowed, and following the Thousand Illusion Divine Spell, streamed towards other Banished Immortals. Fortunately, after the buffering, such information had become trifling. The three Banished Immortals present figured it was a normal phenomenon, an influence of the power of the Immortal Dao Burning Book List, while the other Banished Immortals simply assumed subconsciously that they had a new insight into the "Boluo Divine Flame," sitting down to cultivate—since the Thousand Illusion Divine Spell made them believe in the existence of illusory, unexplained goodwill, they subconsciously ignored the possibility of "Wang Qi meddling with Boluo Divine Flame."

Spiritual contamination caused Chen Youjia to cry out in sorrow. Wang Qi struggled to sever Chen Youjia's connection, kicking her out of this local spirit network, then shouted, "Jarvis... full strength..."

Countless layers of illusions nearly crushed Wang Qi. He knelt to the ground, his breathing growing more and more rapid. His brain, overworked from high-intensity activity, began to suffer from lack of oxygen. His cardio-respiratory functions couldn't keep up, relying solely on mana to amplify the breathing of brain cells, the Heavenly Entropy Technique continuously absorbed excess heat, Heavenly Song was still inactive for atomic-level precise operations, but it managed to interfere with bioelectricity, alleviate nerve pressure. The Heavenly Calculation Atlas was also triggered, undergoing a new round of mutations, focusing on strengthening the brain, the Life Flame blazed vigorously, light ethereally transforming once more into the primarily spirit-focused Holy Light, stabilizing the wavering soul.

Wang Qi had nearly used all his strength to barely withstand this onslaught.

Then, Jarvis finally responded correctly. The Immortal Ring "Mathematics" and shoulder armor "Discrete" quickly absorbed Wang Qi's mana, Jarvis turned off all other functions, rapidly coding new software for itself. As an artificial intelligence originated from Wang Qi's consciousness, its creativity was slightly less than Wang Qi's, but its application of existing technology was subtly superior. It emergency-coded a new application for itself, then ran it with its full computational power.

This was a capability humans absolutely couldn't achieve. No matter how focused, the brain must allocate some computational power to control the body, to maintain instincts. But, Jarvis could even temporarily turn off most of its intelligence, freeing up computational power to execute an algorithm!

Suddenly, the massive information flow was "dammed," beginning to organize, to ease up.

Wang Qi clenched his teeth, called up the light curtain, and quickly typed new code. He had to write a new program to process this massive information flow. Jarvis linked with Wang Qi's spirit, sensed Wang Qi's creativity and intentions, and automatically wrote on the foundation Wang Qi had established. Soon, a new program appeared. It was an application designed to handle the True Intent Inheritance that eschewed fixed text, a program to filter out junk information, select useful parts, arrange true intent, abstract images. Its original version was quite crude. However, as it ran, Jarvis would auto-optimize it.

Immediately after, Wang Qi held his head and said to Chen Youjia, "Junior Sister... I need a favor. Please go buy some devices like the Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle… It doesn't matter how sturdy or stable they are… as long as they can store a lot of Spirit Sense... just pile them beside any Jarvis Terminal when you get back…"

Chen Youjia nodded. At this time, she definitely wouldn't waste words, but directly mounted her Escape Light and flew toward the Immortal Alliance's storeroom. There, she would find a large number of Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles, likely enough for Wang Qi's use.

After Chen Youjia left, Wang Qi sat down cross-legged and focused on regulating himself. The vast Spirit Sense, like an ocean, poured down from the heavens, covering his consciousness with an absolute presence.

Yet his self-awareness swam within this ocean.

These were the Divine Tao's cultivation methods, Divine Skills, and Law Gates. These were the technical achievements of this civilization. These were the cumulative efforts of the intelligent life beings of this planet.

In this universe, life is easily born, and intelligence easily formed. However, it may not be so accommodating to civilizations. Perhaps, a powerful individual Demon Creature could destroy a budding civilization. Perhaps, the changing Spirit Energy Environment could cause a growing civilization to stagnate. Perhaps, an anti-social powerful individual could make a mature civilization collapse.

The possible existence of Ancient Stone Demon civilizations, Sea God civilizations, Cold War Demon Clan civilizations, Dragon Clan civilizations, Primordial Demon Clan civilizations, Ancient Demon Clan civilizations… For the Human Clan here, this is already the seventh time the flame of civilization has been ignited on this planet.

The truth of history has already been obscured, but the nearly one hundred thousand years it took the Human Clan from its birth to dominating Shenzhou was definitely not easy.

And this ocean, this is the technological history of the Human Clan over the past hundred thousand years, the history of the Human Clan's struggles and efforts to survive and establish the Human Dao Order.

"How amazing…"

The Human Clan was not created by Divine Demons, without the ethereal "Qi Fortune" for protection, nor did they originate from the "Feng Shui Dragon Vein". As one of the only two Innate Spirit Awakening species in Shenzhou, the Human Clan traded a weak body for a brain that other species can only dream of. Consequently, communication became highly efficient, division of labor and cooperative work were no longer based on innate instincts encoded in their blood, and experiences of hunting, combat, and survival were passed down in an entirely new way beyond their bloodlines.

This was an ability unique to the Human Clan, their "Bloodline Divine Power."

Then came a period of long accumulation.

Martial Skills transformed into the initial Enemy Killing Skills and Guiding Skills, and the first Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators came into being from this. The confluence of thoughts turned the primitive totems into protective forces for their tribes. Original Witchcraft developed alongside Divine Tao and Qi Cultivation, creating the earliest Talismanic Technique.

Although in today's view, it might be seen as no more than a charlatan's scribbling that even mortals would scoff at, it indeed was the original power of the Human Clan.

This was the record left by the Holy Infant Sect when they preached in the Southern Wilderness and civilized the local tribes. Although this act destroyed the millennia-old Original Witchcraft of the Southern Wilderness and greatly increased the number of Kunlun Slaves in Central Earth, nearly eradicating the initial imprints, the wise of the Holy Infant Sect recorded everything.

Then came the initial Divine Tao. In the era when Divine Tao and Qi Cultivation had not yet diverged, deifying the physical body and merging the divine with the martial were the most common laws.

These were records left when the Holy Infant Sect eradicated the Kunlun martial families.

Qi Cultivation began to stealthily learn from the cultivation of Demon Beasts. From the Innate Divine Seals, they conceived the idea of "Magic Foundation", and from the Demon Core, they grasped the concept of "Golden Core", and then they struck out on an entirely new path...

Inheritance from the Demon Cultivation of the Human Clan of the Southern Wilderness' Reverse Blood Demon Sect.

Mysterious Immortals teaching their ways, the leap of the Immortal Dao Civilization...

At that time, all Immortal Dao Skills were imitations of the Immortals, hence the name "Fangxian Method"...

Ancient records of Fangxian Dao.

Divine Tao also diverged from the original beliefs and appeared with a brand new face...

One Divine Throne after another was raised by the Divine Spirits. In the earliest era, Divine Tao coexisted with the Immortal Dao...

Numerous ancient rites of Divine Immorality destroyed by the Holy Infant Sect.

...

Gradually, a smile formed at the corners of Wang Qi's mouth.

For others, the Immortal Dao Burning Book List might just be an anthology of cultivation techniques.

But for him, this book was— the entire technological history of the civilization!(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
